All these cooking methods are described in detail in step-by-step recipes with photos, which you can find on the pages of the site. To do this, use the search bar and enter the desired words.
2. In this recipe, sesame seeds are fried in a clean and dry skillet until golden brown. This is done for no more than 3-5 minutes over medium heat, stirring occasionally. Since the seeds burn very quickly, they must always be monitored.
3. Boil the beets in advance or bake them in foil in the oven. How this is done, the recipe published on the site will also tell in detail. Then cool the root vegetable to room temperature. Since the cooking and cooling process is long, I recommend preparing the vegetable in advance, for example, in the evening.
Peel the finished beets and grate on a coarse grater or cut into thin strips.
4. In a deep bowl, combine grated beets and roasted sesame seeds.
5. Add grain mustard, a pinch of salt to the food and season with vegetable oil.
6. Stir the salad with beetroot and sesame seeds, chill in the refrigerator if desired for 15 minutes and serve. You can use it on your own as a light snack, a full-fledged evening meal, or as an addition to main dishes with any side dish.
